White House Contacted YouTube About "Anti-Islamic Video" While The Benghazi Attack Was Still Going On


Just fuckin' amazing.

It's almost like they had a plan to blame the attack on the YouTube video before the attack even happened.

From ABC News:
A still-classified State Department e-mail says that one of the first responses from the White House to the Benghazi attack was to contact YouTube to warn of the “ramifications” of allowing the posting of an anti-Islamic video, according to Rep. Darrell Issa, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. 
The memo suggests that even as the attack was still underway — and before the CIA began the process of compiling talking points on its analysis of what happened — the White House believed it was in retaliation for a controversial video. 
The subject line of the e-mail, which was sent at 9:11 p.m. Eastern Time on the night of the attack, is “Update on Response to actions – Libya.” 
The email was written hours before the attack was over. 
Issa has asked the White House to declassify and release the document. In the meantime he has inserted a sentence from the e-mail in the Congressional Record. 
“White House is reaching out to U-Tube [sic] to advice ramification of the posting of the Pastor Jon video,” the e-mail reads, according to Issa. 
“The e-mail shows the White House had hurried to settle on a false narrative — one at odds with the conclusions reached by those on the ground — before Americans were even out of harm’s way or the intelligence community had made an impartial examination of available evidence,” Issa said.

Amazing, isn't it? The White House has the number to call YouTube to speak with a warm body at such a critical time when that very phone call could have been made to provide military support for those under attack at this embassy.
Again, this phone call simply lends more credibility to the theory that the alleged anti-Islam video was linked to the white house prior to the attack on 9/11 in Benghazi. Perhaps Hillary(State Dept.) did pay to create the video as suggested by Walid Shoebat's story linking his cousin's malfeasance and the subsequent reaction by Hillary where she personally assured family members of the Benghazi victims she would arrest the filmmaker. She was already aware of who to arrest. Too cozy/convenient for such assurances by Hillary to not be directly involved.
It's coming to the point where I'd put serious money on a bet that Barack/Hillary & co. commissioned the video to have in place when the time was right to exchange the blind sheik for her gay ambassador in Libya.
